Inspiration

This is my inspiration for getting better - 80 pounds of apples to peel, slice and transform into yummy canned goods!


We drove out and picked them up from a local farm today, and now they are sitting in the garage waiting for me to heal from surgery. I am going to make lots of applesauce, but also try my hand at canning some spiced apples, and maybe some apple fruit leather. I am also looking forward to some fresh apple desserts, starting with apple empanadas with our neighbors for dessert tomorrow night. We got 40 pounds each of two kinds of apples, Melrose and Jonagolds. The Jonagolds are HUGE! They look like giants compared to a regular sized apple!

They look so crisp and juicy, and delicious. I cant wait to start baking with and canning these. I love apple season!
